It was early in the morning and Jinki was sleeping soundly on his bed with a smile on his face. Everything was quiet making the atmosphere feel so peaceful when someone suddenly jumped on his bed.

_Hyung! Wake up!

Jinki bolted up from his bed at the sudden voice booming through his ears. Who the hell does this in the early morning? Apparently, Taemin just did. He groaned and looked at the boy beside him with his eyes almost still close.

_Taemin-ah, can you please don’t do that in the morning? - He said sleepily but the maknae only smiled back at him.

_Sorry hyung. But you just wouldn’t wake up if I didn’t do that.

_Fine. I’ll be out in a minute.

He gave a long yawn as Taemin stood up and walked outside. But once the maknae was out of the door, he just fell back onto the bed with his eyes closed, didn’t seem like he wanted to wake up at all. He just dreamt about a pretty girl being his angel and she was here, watching him sleep all night. But too bad that Taemin had to ruin it.

_Oppa, wake up you sleepy head.

His eyes shot open when a girl voice rang through his ears and the next second, he was on the floor with a loud thud. Yes, the clumsy leader just literally fell off the bed from shock. He heard her voice again when he sat up and rubbed his head before turned toward the bed. And there she was. His guardian angel was still there, kneeling on his bed with a worry expression on her face. But before he could say anything, the members were already rushing through the door.

_Hyung! Are you okay? - Jonghyun said right at the moment he got through the door.

_Uhm, I’m fine. Just … fall off the bed. - Jinki managed to say something which only made the main vocalist chuckled.

_Gosh hyung, be careful next time. - Key said while Minho stepped forward and pulled him up.

_Sorry guys, I’ll be out later.

And with that, Key walked out grumbling while the other three just smiled and followed behind. When they were finally out of sight, Jinki turned back and found her smiling again.

_Why are you always smiling? - He blurted out unknowingly.

_Neh? Why do you ask that oppa? - Instead of answering his question, she just stared at him and asked another one.

_I was just wondering since you always look so happy, you know. - He found himself answered her truthfully without any hesitation.

_What about you then? You smile so much that some people even think you’re an angel. And besides, I AM a happy angel, not some gloomy ghost.

He laughed and she soon joined him. Even if she was a ghost, she would be a friendly one and he would love to have her around. Then before anyone could come in to check on him again, they quickly composed themselves and walked outside. From that day on, he knew that they would get along just fine.

Days passed by and everything went well between Jinki and his angel but there was something that bothered him: Her letter didn’t come anymore. He acknowledged that she would just send them once in a while but still, he couldn’t help but checked everyday. s and Snowy started to ask him why but he always shook his head and said nothing. He decided to keep those letters as a secret until he find out a way to contact her. And when Snowy kept remind him about her …

*****Flashback*****

_Wow~ Oppa, you have so many black clothes. - Snowy said when she saw his wardrobe.

_Yeah, and you always wear the white clothes. - Jinki chuckled at the opposition.

_It’s because I’m an angel. - She said - I used to have many black clothes too since if I wore something white, I would just stain them after all.

 “But almost my clothes was black instead of white, somehow I will just stain them after all, kkk”

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

_Oppa, you’re eating chicken again? - She pouted.

_Why? It’s good. - He said and continued with his chicken drumstick.

_ I didn’t say it’s not good. Actually I like them too you know.

_Really? - His eyes immediately lit up - Then why are you pouting?

_Because you’re making me crave for it, you chicken lover!

“Today is my birthday and guess what? I just went out to eat Mexicana! Yay! It reminded me of you though. Remember when you guys were shooting for Mexicana commercial and you said ‘Chicken in my heart’? Such a chicken lover XD”

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

_Angels won’t ever gain weight, will they? - He suddenly asked her.

_I guess. But why did you ask me that?

_Because you look skinny to me. You should have eaten like me or Taemin. - He teased, knowing girls always go on a diet at this age.

_So I could be a pig? - She said as they both laugh - I’ve known you don’t like skinny girl a long time ago already.

_Who told you so?

_Your UFO of course~ I knew you wouldn’t like a skinny girl like me so it’s okay. - She pretended to sulk.

“Anyway, the news about Jonghyun oppa and Sekyung unnie make me think you will get a girlfriend one day. What’s your idea type oppa? I only know that you don’t like skinny girls because they don’t look like they can take care of themselves. I guess you won’t like me then since I’m skinny. But it’s okay, it doesn’t mean that I will leave you right?”

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

_Oppa, do you often read fan mail? - She asked when he was checking out a box full of letters which was from fans.

_Uhm, no. - He replied shortly while still looking for something in there.

_Then why do you keep checking them everyday? I know you never have enough time to read all of them after all.

“I know you never have enough time to read all the fan mail but there’s still a chance that you might read some right? That’s why I gave myself a chance and continue writing letters for you. Who knows you may pick one of them someday right?”

*****End Flashback*****

… he couldn’t help but wanted to know more about the mysterious girl. And today wasn’t any exception.

_Oppa, why are you staring at me instead of going to sleep? - Snowy asked when she noticed Jinki’s gaze was on her.

_ I don’t know, I didn’t feel sleepy yet. - He simply said.

_Then why did you tell the others that you’re going to sleep? - She looked at him in puzzle.

And all she got from him was a shrug. She frowned as he didn’t give her an answer before heaved a sigh in defeat and turned back to her doodle on the table. But not long after that, she heard his voice again as he sat up from the bed.

_Ah! How about you sing for me?

_No. Just go to sleep oppa. - She said without turning around.

_But you’re my guardian angel. - He whined and it made her turned around.

_And my job is only protect you oppa, not entertaining you too. - Seeing his pout, she just added - It’s not like I don’t want to, I just can’t.

_Why? - He said, sensing the sad tone in her voice.

_My dream is actually become a singer but no matter how hard I tried, it wouldn’t be good enough. Guess that I don’t have the gift then. - She said quietly, feeling hurt by the bitter fact.

“Oppa, I wanna be a singer like you guys but seem like it’s too hard. My voice isn’t good so no matter how hard I tried, it wouldn’t be good enough. If only I have the gift in singing T. T”

Jinki frowned a bit, not only because Snowy just reminded him about Soojin, the girl who wrote those letters but also felt sad about the fact.

Why do you keep remind me about her? I wonder if you two have any connection with each other.

_So, what are you doing there? - He said, changing the topic while stood up and walked toward her.

_Nothing, it’s just some boring doodles. - She simply shrugged, getting back to her normal self.

He looked down at her doodles as she just boringly tapped the pen on the paper. He chuckled when he saw a few lyrics quote and a bunch of hearts everywhere. Is that all she could draw? He asked himself and fixed his eyes on what she was going to draw next. But the moment her pen made a trace on a clear space of the paper, the smile on his face faded away and replaced with a frown. Soon after that, his eyes widened and it startled her as he snatched it away.

This signature, could it be …? Is that the reason why I found her name familiar?

_Oppa, what’s wrong? - Snowy stood up as she tried to read his expression.

_You - He looked up at her full of shock - You’re … Soojin?

_Wha.. But ho… - Got catch off by surprise, she could only utter a few words.

She looked at him confusingly as he ran to the bed without a word. There he pulled out a box under the bed and ran back to her. She eyed him carefully as he slowly opened up the hood and shocked her with what was inside. Letters. It wasn’t just any letters, it was her letters.

My letters. He read it?

_So it was you, you were the one who wrote me these letters. - He looked at her, feeling happy that he finally found the girl - In the past month, the reason I kept searching for it and it didn’t come anymore  was because you were here! … But does that mean …

He trailed off at the end as the truth struck him, making his heart beat fast. Shaking his head, he didn’t want to believe in something cruel like that.

Why now? Why does it only happen when I’m dead!?

_Soojin-ah…

She startled as he was calling her real name. Her body trembled and so did his. Their hearts was running wild as their breath shortened. This is too much, she couldn’t take it anymore.

_Wait!

He reached out his hands but couldn’t touch her, she was already disappeared into the thin air. Jinki fell on his knees, the box along with all of Soojin’s letters shattered on the floor. He finally found her, but everything was too late.
